Gardeners can leverage ziplock bags for propagation, seed starting, and pest control, creating mini-greenhouses and organized systems.
1. Seed Starter and Propagation Chamber
For starting seeds or rooting cuttings, place a moistened paper towel or potting mix with seeds into a bag. Seal it and place it in a warm, bright spot. The bag creates a humid, greenhouse-like environment that encourages germination and root growth. Check periodically for growth and mold.
2. Harvest and Herb Storage
Freshly picked herbs like basil or cilantro stay crisper longer if stored with a damp paper towel in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator. For smaller garden harvests like cherry tomatoes or beans, use bags to keep them separate and organized before washing.
3. Pest Control and Isolated Treatment
If a single houseplant has pests, you can place a large clear bag over it for a few days after treatment. This can help increase humidity for certain treatments and prevent pests from migrating to other plants. Always monitor the plant closely to avoid overheating.
